SCHOOLS ARE NOT MADE
Schools are not made
Of bricks alone,
But of living things
With flesh and bone.
Beings who live
Together as one,
Working at lessons -
Having fun.
Schools are not made
Of plaster and wood,
But of helping friends
Who've understood
The pack of problems
You've had to bear,
And made your life
. More free from care.
Schools are not made
Of steel and glass,
But of memories
From every class.
A word in a hall,
A basketball game,
Streamers and music -
Hearts aflame.
Yes, schools are made
0f subtle stuff,
Of ups and downs,
Of smooth and rough
And yet you'll say,
In later strife:
WThe happiest days
In all my lifein

In 1928, Mr. Marshal Lane organized an agri-
cultural club which, after receiving its charter on
December 31, 1939, became the Alrna Chapter of the
National Future Farmers of America. Any rural boy
who wishes to specialize in agriculture and is
enrolled in one of the agricultural classes is eli-
gible to join.
During the past year the club, under the able
supervision of Mr. Lester Allen, has made two
trips to Lansingg one during the Junior Farmer
Jeek and the other during Farmer's week. Other
activities include a trip to the Ionia Free Fair to
judge livestock and grains, the annual corn show,
which is sponsored in January and the Father and

The Hi-Y was organized in Alma at the start of
the 1957-38 school year. This Alma organization is
composed of boys sponsored by Mr. Ranch and is
affiliated with the Y. M. C. A. They are a very
active group. They aim to improve the ethical
standards of the girls and boys in school, to strive
for sportsmanship and cooperation. They have spon-
sored movies and lectures carrying out this aim as
well as sheer entertainment programs. The problem
of school clioues, racial attitudes, and many
others are discussed at their meetings. They left
a scoreboard to the school during their first year
as a club. Dr. Miller consulted with the boys on
the problems of sex and Mr. Babcock discussed many
of today's problems with the group. These have
been the outstanding lectures this year. They
have done numerous little things to improve out
Alma High.

The Home Economics Club of Alma High School has
been organized this year for the purpose of bringing
girls together in experiences related to the school,
home, and community. The girls have tried to earn
money to send delegates to the spring ,high school
conference at Lansing. They have joined the Ameri-
can Home Economics Association, and as a member have
received many interesting helps.
The club meets regularly once a month on Thurs-
day evening, with an added record of at least one
special evening meeting each month so far. Their
main social project for the year was the sponsoring
of an old time barn dance. The year closed with
the annual picnic and election of officers.

also in sponsoring such school activities as the Carnival and the New-
sies' Night Club. The Alma-Nac has faithfully followed successful pre-
cedents established by former staffs, as well as innovating an adver-
tising agency for all school parties, unusual assemblies, and programs

For over a dezade the traditional Mardi Gras
has been thrilling Alma High students with its
French atmosphere and scenes suggestive of the gala
occasion in New Orleans. This year the French
class sponsored the festive affair on February 25.
The King and Queen dominated the scene and
chose the winners for the outstanding costumes of
the evening. Helen Creeger, picturesouely attired
in dress of days gone by took the prize for the
prettiest. In the unique garb of a deep sea diver
Morris Lockwood secured the prize for the most ori-
ginal. The combined forces of Eugene Greenwood and
Orville Lippert under the guise of Ferdinand the
Bull took the laurels for the funniest attire.
Jerry Corbett's syncopating music filled the
air while the costumed couples danced.

On November 16, the curtain rose on an aspiring
young group of actors and actresses. The occasion
was the first showing of UChina Boyn, the annual
Senior Play.
The play was centered around Mark, the son of a
missionary in China. He throws a wrench into the
home life of the Parker family when he arrives une
expectedly for an extended visit. Mark is a moral,
upright boy who at onee wins the approval of the el-
der members of the Parker family, but the younger
set ban him as inhuman. Of course in the end, Mark,
being the hero, makes friends with his cousins and
their crowd.

Alma High's football team looked to be the best in
many years after playing Saginaw Arthur Hill. Losing
in last seconds of play by a 15-7 score, the Panthers
were in best of spirit and form. The team went on
with high hopes and conquered Greenville 6 to O. The
next week playing a night game with Mt. Pleasant gave
Alma another win 7 to O. after some of the best goal
line stands produced during the year by the Panthers.
Fremont was their next victim, winning 26 to 7. Here
however, their victories stopped and they lost their
last three games to East Lansing, Big Rapids, and
Midland.
The first team consisted of Fortino, Efaw, endsg

that in the year's state tournament play Alma
should place high. This is only the third year of

This year the Panther golf team will have to
play outstanding golf in order to keep up the excel-
lent record of the past two years. Only four matches
have been lost and two championships have come into
our school. The team of last year finished third in
the state meet, only six strokes out of second place.
Bob Phillips and Leon McNeill, number one and
two men respectively, have played on a winning team
during their golf career in high school.
The team thus far has won from Big Rapids and
lost to East Lansing in medal play.
